Dry needling is a sub-type of acupuncture. It should be regulated under acupuncture. Only acupuncture use needling to help patients. Physiotherapy use massage, heat, or excercise rather than needling. Acupuncturists have fully training to practice the needling. Physiotherapy should accept the same time training before practising dry needling.
